A Texas Wedding

Earlier this month we flew to Texas for our beautiful cousin, Kylee's wedding. I was nervous to fly with 2 kids, but overall they were great. The airport consisted of Maddie in the carrier waving hello to anyone and everyone. Nolan is a champion traveler. He loves the airplanes so the hype helps to not let time drag too much awhile waiting to board. 

On the way there we thought Maddie would sleep the entire time. She didn't. She slept for the first half of the flight and then she cried for 45 minutes refusing everything because she was overly tired and exhausted to the point that I was shaking a cup of ice to keep her from screaming. Then with about 30 minutes left on the flight she fell sound asleep and stayed asleep until we got to our hotel. Nolan on the other hand played nicely, colored a little bit and then snuggled up between us with his head on my lap and went right to sleep for the larger portion of the flight. We had to wake him when we were getting off the plane and then laid him in our stroller to sleep through the airport. Seriously, champion traveler. 

Here we all are ready to go! 

 

On Friday the boys went to the rehearsal because Nolan was the ring bearer!! And me and little missy hung back at the house waiting for everyone. 

 

Once rehearsal was done we went to an adorable Italian restaurant for the rehearsal dinner and it was delicious. We had a fun evening celebrating the couple to be, Kylee and Donny! 

 

And we saw a Santa so naturally we asked Nolan to smile with him because we joke that they are the only Santa pictures we will ever get with Nols. 

 

Saturday was the big day! A fairytale Disney wedding and let me tell you, they nailed it. All of the fine details were so spot on and everything was absolutely beautiful. However, the most beautiful of all was the bride! 

 

But, my little Prince Charming was #1 handsome in my book,

 

I mean seriously. 

 

Since it had a Disney theme we thought it would be nice for Maddie to wear her Minnie Mouse ears ☺️

 

 

 

 

 

 

When we were heading to the reception the bridal party was finishing up pictures and I thought this was way too cute!

 

The most beautiful (and so delicious) cakes,

 

First dance,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everything was so beautiful and we wish Kylee and Donny a lifetime of love and happiness together! ❤️ Thank you for having Nolan be a part of your special day. 

The next day we toured the Dallas Cowboys insane stadium. Insane. The ginormous tv (yeah, it's a real working tv) alone cost $40 million. 🤑 Ryan was in his glory when we stepped onto the field. It was pretty wild, but the Ravens are still my team. 💜

Baby girl stayed with the family and just Ryan, Nols and I went on the tour. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we had more family time before we headed back home! ❤️

 

 

Good lord I was so nervous to do this again. But this time...they were BOTH angels! They were so good I actually documented it with pictures 😀

Dear Madelyn ~ 7 months

Dear sweet buggy,

Time just keeps flying by and with the holidays I feel like it is all happening twice as fast. My sweet girl, you are now 7 months old! You love food. You love waving and saying "hiiiiii" and you love to stand! You have started to "dance" to music and raise your arms in the air for "so big!" You also can say "dada" and "mama" but daddy won't count it until it's a full on clear word directed perfectly at us. ;) You are such a happy little girl and we can't get enough of you! 

 

You had your first cold. ☹️😷 This has made for awful sleeping habits and fussiness that we are not used to with you. Thankfully you are on the mend and those smiles are multiplying again! 

 

You are trying so hard to crawl. I am enjoying my non-mobile baby though so please take your time with this. Although when we put you on the floor to play you seem to still rotate your body, roll over and manage to maneuver all over the place, without officially crawling. 

 

We had your first flight this past weekend and I will post about our lovely trip to Texas soon. You are getting ready for your first Christmas and I have a feeling your brother is going to have so much fun opening your presents. I mean, since he is such a great helper and all. 

 

I feel like I need to update on your blowouts (still a champ with that) and how you still come home from daycare in a different outfit on the daily. We are always shocked when you still have on what I sent you in that morning. As far as spit up goes though, you are so much better. This was your breakthrough month because I can't recall the last time you splattered the floor. You still will spit up a little bit occasionally, but it is nothing like it was before. 

 

Did you notice you are waving hi in pretty much all of those pictures? 

And now a progression of Maddie eats her sticker pictures, 

 
 

 And then the sticker got taken away from her,

Nolan's face. 

We love you SO SO SO much baby girl!!!

Xoxo,

Mommy
